Happy New Year!!!

Can't wait for 2009 to be over with. We have had some bad luck this year and hopefully 2010 will be full of blessings.

Have a safe and Happy 2010!

Keep reminding myself....

To be upset over what you don't have is to waste what you do have.

RIP Dodge Dakota

John and I will miss the truck - not sure what we will get next! On 12/2, over a week ago, John couldn't stop in enough time and ran into another SUV during rush hour on the Paseo Bridge (boy, I'm sure it caused a huge backup!). Long story short everyone is fine and it could have been worse. My dad is kind to let us borrow his truck! Since we got snow and the truck isn't four wheel drive (John's wasn't either) it's pretty humorous to see John try to get out of the drive way. For about 4-5 years we have been storing these 45 pound free weights in our garage (there's about 10 of them) - I've lost all hope of John getting rid of them, but they did come in handy to add more weight to the truck.

Boulevard Tour

Saturday we got invited to go on the Boulevard Tour with Megan and Alex. John had been there before but it was my firs time. If you ever get the chance you need to do the tour- great time and you can sample the beer after the tour. WARNING- you do need to book well in advance!

Thanks Megan and Alex for inviting us!!

KU vs. NE

John and I went to our first KU football game at Lawrence. The McGinnis's invited us to join them watching Nebraska play (Got to tailgate before the game and had VIP parking ). Which we couldn't complain we had great tickets - 50yardline, 23 rows up. I will admit, it was the only time I will ever cheer for Nebraska. Being down here in KC with tons of KU fans wears on you! Weather was good and not too cold - John did end up buying me a hot chocolate.

It was kind of funny I thought that the game was at Arrowhead - I had no idea why we had to leave so early and I told John my concerns on how we were going to meet Trevor and get the tickets. Arrowhead was big and Trevor would have to walk really far so we could get the parking pass...

Happy Halloween!

Out with the dogs at "Dog-tober"Fest

We have been busy with dog events, birthday parties etc. This weekend we had John's event and had Addy's birthday and I went for a girls weekend! Crazy! I'm so glad for my family and extended family! I miss my girlfriends and I wish we lived closer so we can get together more often. Can't wait for Megan's wedding in August! It will be SO much FUN!!!

For Jared and Susan...

You left a dying plant ...Take a look at this! Boy, do I have a green thumb! John still doesn't think so. Miss you guys and I hope you are staying warm in Boston!
